Synopsis ¶

This module provides declarative management of link aggregation groups on VyOS network devices.

Parameters ¶

Parameter		Choices/Defaults	Comments
aggregate			List of link aggregation definitions.
members			List of members of the link aggregation group.
mode		Choices: 802.3ad active-backup broadcast round-robin transmit-load-balance adaptive-load-balance xor-hash on	Mode of the link aggregation group.
name required			Name of the link aggregation group.
provider			Deprecated Starting with Ansible 2.5 we recommend using `connection: network_cli`. For more information please see the Network Guide. A dict object containing connection details.
	username		Configures the username to use to authenticate the connection to the remote device. This value is used to authenticate the SSH session. If the value is not specified in the task, the value of environment variable `ANSIBLE_NET_USERNAME` will be used instead.
	host required		Specifies the DNS host name or address for connecting to the remote device over the specified transport. The value of host is used as the destination address for the transport.
	ssh_keyfile		Specifies the SSH key to use to authenticate the connection to the remote device. This value is the path to the key used to authenticate the SSH session. If the value is not specified in the task, the value of environment variable `ANSIBLE_NET_SSH_KEYFILE` will be used instead.
	timeout	Default: 10	Specifies the timeout in seconds for communicating with the network device for either connecting or sending commands. If the timeout is exceeded before the operation is completed, the module will error.
	password		Specifies the password to use to authenticate the connection to the remote device. This value is used to authenticate the SSH session. If the value is not specified in the task, the value of environment variable `ANSIBLE_NET_PASSWORD` will be used instead.
	port	Default: 22	Specifies the port to use when building the connection to the remote device.
state		Choices: present ← absent up down	State of the link aggregation group.

Examples ¶

- name: configure link aggregation group
  vyos_linkagg:
    name: bond0
    members:
      - eth0
      - eth1

- name: remove configuration
  vyos_linkagg:
    name: bond0
    state: absent

- name: Create aggregate of linkagg definitions
  vyos_linkagg:
    aggregate:
        - { name: bond0, members: [eth1] }
        - { name: bond1, members: [eth2] }

- name: Remove aggregate of linkagg definitions
  vyos_linkagg:
    aggregate:
      - name: bond0
      - name: bond1
    state: absent

Return Values ¶

Common return values are documented here, the following are the fields unique to this module:

Key	Returned	Description
commands list	always, except for the platforms that use Netconf transport to manage the device.	The list of configuration mode commands to send to the device Sample: ['set interfaces bonding bond0', "set interfaces ethernet eth0 bond-group 'bond0'", "set interfaces ethernet eth1 bond-group 'bond0'"]
